General 2016 Free Agency Discussion

[ace3g]

Grizzlies guard Nick Calathes has insisted that he prefers to remain in the NBA, but rumors continue to signal that his camp is soliciting his services overseas, as David Pick of Eurobasket.com hears that he’s seeking a $3.5MM annual salary from international clubs (Twitter link). Calathes can become a restricted free agent this summer if Memphis tenders him a qualifying offer worth $1,147,276.

I guess the Spurs really are looking under every rock this summer.

I just read this story on him and he doesn't sound Spurs material. Unless he's really gotten over himself for real this time.

Anyone know his weight now??

[ace3g]

Yeah kind of has a ZBO look to him.

That sucks. Was hoping he would be added to the FA big man pool.

Looks like he might me flying into SA for summer league again.

G. Henderson is the main person I want. Not sure what his expect contract is. He has a nice balance of skills and would be a nice athleticism boost for the team. Has the ability to create which is needed.

I'd also like to go after Mike Dunleavy.

[Chinook]

Nah. Henderson is average to below average at everything other than athleticism. He's opting out of $6 Million if he hits free agency. No way does he make economic sense for the Spurs as either a sixth man or a Green replacement.

Henderson is a more athletic worse shooting Neal. No real need for him at his price. Curious - why were you saying it's impossible for Tim to stay & get a max FA?

It's just that too many guys would have to go for the Spurs to create the cap space to re-sign Tim while also keeping a max slot open. No Tim, and we're still talking losing Mills here. With Tim, and even Mills and Splitter may not be enough.

Chicago will be rebuilding soon. Rose is past his effectiveness as he was an explosive PG, Butler wants to be the 1st banana.. Noah is injury prone and breaking down, Taj will always get shafted..

Eric Gordon has opted in for the next season with the New Orleans Pelicans @BBallInsiders

[TheGoldStandard]

Of course he did, he's getting way too much money

[exstatic]

Gordon would be lucky to earn half what he does now on his next contract. His opting in was a given two years ago. He's been below the average PER of 15 the last two seasons.

If Brook Lopez opts out with the nets, is he a max player in this current environment?

Someone will pay him gobs of money.

Spurs' main priority should be keeping their top players. There's no reason for the team to blow it up. After that, they should look to use their cap space to bring in the best addition possible. It's possible that instead of signing someone, they instead use the space to take back a bad contract and a pick.

Hopefully they trade the big vagina but probably not.

Who do you think would fit that mold? IMO, I think the Spurs really need to think long and hard about getting into the lottery via trade if they can. Both to free up money for FA and to secure young/athletic talent for the future.
